Kehinde Wiley: An Archaeology of Silence is a new body of paintings and sculptures by American artist Kehinde Wiley that confronts the silence surrounding systemic violence against Black people through the visual language of the fallen figure. In An Archaeology of Silence, the senseless deaths of men and women around the world are transformed into a powerful elegy of resistance.
